How to Get Rid of Ants. 



Query loo. — Do jou know of anythiutr that 

 will destroy ants— soniethtflg' that will annihi- 

 late them entirely ? — A.xON. 



W. G. Larrabee — No. 



J. A. Stone — Carbolic acid. 



D. W. Heise— I do not. Who does ? 

 Dr. C. C. Miller— Bisulphide of carbon. 

 Prof. A. J. Cook— Yes; bisulphide of car- 

 bon. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— Pour kerosene in their 

 nests. 



C. Davenport— No. Ants never injure 

 bees here. 



Eugene Secor — No, not that I care to 

 recommend. 



S. T. Pettit— Yes, I do. Give them lots 

 of boiling water. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber — We have had no ex- 

 perience with ants. 



Emerson T. Abbott— No. Fire will re- 

 duce them to ashes. 



J. M. Hambaugh— Coal-oil or carbolic 

 acid, properly applied. 



P. H. Elwood— Call on Dewey. They 

 don't like salt very well. 



O. O. Poppleton — No, except they are so 

 situated that hot water can be used. 



G. M. Doolittle— No. They do so little 

 harm with me that I have ceast to fight 

 them. 



R. C. Aikin — Kerosene emulsion fixes 

 every one you can hit, but I never get all of 

 them. 



R. L. Taylor — I think fire would be as 

 near what you are seeking as anything 

 mundane. 



E. France — Put them into boiling water, 

 every last one of them ; or take a hatchet 

 and chop their heads off. 



J. E. Pond — I do not. Many plans are 

 given in the bee-papers, but I have never 

 had any serious trouble with ants. 



Rev. M. Mahin— Fire will do it, but the 

 application is not always easy. Salt and 

 water will keep them away from the bee- 

 hives. 



E Whitcomb— Find their nests and dose 

 with kerosene. Rub lightly on top of the 

 blanket and on the outside of the hive 

 where they run. 



J. A. Green— Bisulphide of carbon poured 

 into holes made with a crowbar in the ant- 

 hill, then covered with a flat stone or brick, 

 has proven very effectual. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— No. That is. that will 

 destroy them but will not destroy the bees. 

 Sugar and arsenic mixt together will be 

 found equally effective in the destruction 

 of both. 



A. F. Brown— For practical and general 

 use, no. Bisulphide of carbon, also kero- 

 sene, if poured in or over their nests will 

 destroy them, but are too expensive; and,
